good day.  it is so very rainy and gray here today so i am about to start a pot of soup to warm the house and our bellies.  i enjoyed a wonderful morning at montessori with ayla sipping tea {that she and her classmates grew and harvested in their school garden}, being guided through her favorite works with unabashed excitement, then being serenaded in french - quiet a morning.  adie's tea is tomorrow and i expect equal delights.  

i wanted to pop in today to share a couple of things:

~ anne of pret a voyager invited me to be a part of her "boarding pass" series - i had so much fun dancing through the memories of my wonderlust as i answered her questions... you can read it here.

~ need some pretty?  spend a moment with the cherry blossom girl...

~ and be sure to check back on friday when i announce the special holiday weekend sale at fieryeyed.

see you tomorrow with my list of thanks...

Absolutely gorgeous photographs. They make me want to hope a plane to Europe and wander around.
